[Mr. S£im Citrus]

@Spike has more games that I've played, but @Löwenherz has more games that I would want on my own island.

 

[Padrino]

@Spike made a few truly awesome selections. Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, NHL '96, Street Fighter II, TMNT: The Arcade Game. Love it! Those picks made this decision harder than I expected, because @Löwenherz's list possesses the largest number of games that were in serious contention for my own island. Ultimately, it tilted his way as a result. I mean, come on:

Chrono Trigger
Hades
Hollow Knight
Super Mario Bros. 3
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Metroid
Cyberpunk 2077
Super Mario Kart
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge

I guess DOA2 doesn't have the pull that I thought it would.

 

[Löwenherz]

Maybe had you gone the Xtreme route …

It bounced you up high enough to earn my vote.

 

[Löwenherz]

It bounced you up high enough to earn my vote.

Drat, knew I should have posted more pictures of Zero Suit Samus

 

[Spike]

That's the theme for the next desert island draft.

 

[Tetsujin]

That's the theme for the next desert island draft.

Is that how we’re luring Bricklayer out of hiding?

Both lists have great games, but Lowenherz has the 2D action I crave with Super Metroid and Mega Man X. Ocarina of Time and SMB3 don't exactly hurt either.
